A distal section of the first tubular member includes a cutting tip. The distal region of the second tubular member forms a cutting window. The first elongated member is co-axially disposed within the second tubular member such that the cutting tip is selectively exposed at the cutting window. The first and second tubular members are co-axially disposed within the sleeve member. The third tubular member is co-axially disposed around the intermediate section of the first tubular member, the intermediate region of the second tubular member and the sleeve member. The orientation member is rotatable to transmit a rotational force applied to the orientation member to selectively rotate the second and third tubular members relative to the sleeve to effectuate spatial rotation of the cutting window.1/6 NN
